AbstractElectrical field sensing and capacitive sensing have been an intensively explored research topic for over a century. Combined with the rising popularity of rapid prototyping technologies, like affordable all- in-one micro-controller boards and especially fused filament fabrication 3D-printing, new possibilities occur. 3D-printing drives the ambitions of custom designed objects with fully integrated and unobtrusive electronics. Conductive 3D-printing materials (filaments) can be used to create electrodes for electrical field sensing. These electrodes can be 3D-printed as an integral part into the overall object. However, none of the previous work examines the properties of these conductive materials, the chosen 3D-printing configurations, and patters regarding their sensing performance and costs.This thesis provides a first insight into the interdependency between the chosen 3D- printing parameters and the overall sensing performance. For this, 30 3D-printed electrodes were created from graphene filament and evaluated against one copper electrode, and a placebo electrode. The evaluation was performed by a custom made measuring toolkit, the CapLiper, which was also evaluated for proper sensing behavior. The results show, that 3D-printed electrodes can compete with the sensing performance of copper electrodes, with some exceeding its performance. Using these results, as well as lessons learned in creating two different prototypes, the thesis establishes best practice and gives an outlook on potential future work in this domain.
